Margaret Island, River island in Budapest, Hungary
Margaret Island spans 2.5 kilometers in length between the Buda and Pest sides of Budapest, connected by Margaret Bridge and Árpád Bridge.
The island changed from being called Island of Rabbits to Margaret Island after Saint Margaret, daughter of King Béla IV, who lived in its Dominican convent.
The island presents medieval ruins, a musical fountain, thermal baths, and a water tower that reflect different periods of Hungarian architecture and lifestyle.
Vehicles are restricted on the island, with visitors primarily accessing it through public transportation, walking paths, and bicycle rentals.
Natural thermal springs feed the island's water features, including the Palatinus water park, which contains Budapest's largest outdoor swimming complex.
